Meetings Booking Process
An initial list of MTD Training's Open Course dates for 2020 will be provided to you for the 12 month period, and additions will be provided on an ad hoc basis.
MTD Training will only use one hotel per location for their external training requirements, therefore the successful venue will receive 100% of the course dates
On notification from tobook Ltd that your hotel has been successful, please arrange for the dates to be held provisionally on 1st option and the contract to be drawn up (please see contract note below)
All bookings will be made via tobook Ltd only. All communication should be directed through tobook Ltd.
Any booking amendments will be made via tobook Ltd.
Further course dates may be requested in addition to the "Main Schedule". New requests for course dates must be responded to within 4 working hours
**CONTRACT** - In order to reduce administration of course bookings, please provide tobook Ltd with one multiple-date contract for signature by MTD Training to include all course dates being contracted
MTD Training require an agreement of minimum chargeable numbers at 6 in a room suitable to increase to maximum course number of approximately 20 in a U Shape Layout.
Rooms MUST be laid out in U Shape Layout suitable for the Final Numbers confirmed on the Friday prior. Additional chairs should be removed from the room.
Due to the nature of MTD's business, they require a 7 day cancellation policy for each individual event, without charge, for all contracted meeting space. Provisional Numbers will be provided on the Tuesday of the week prior to the course date, and Final numbers will be provided on the Friday of the week prior to the course date. Should reductions be made between Provisional and Final numbers, charges should not be incurred for the reduction unless numbers fall below 6.
Any hotel terms and conditions which may apply, in addition to this SLA, will be signed off at the start of the contracted dates and will be accepted for all MTD Training business with your hotel
On the rare occasion where a course needs to be cancelled, we will endeavour (but cannot guarantee) to re-book at a later date or replace with an alternative course
In addition to the Main Schedule, MTD Training may require extra course dates to be booked throughout the year, subject to your availability. Rates must be offered in line with this RFP.
